Hey people,

Today you have been given the power of a god.

Your objective is to come up with a new animal, a hybrid as a result of breeding any existing species that "normally" wouldn't do so ( I'm no one to tell people what to do with their free time).
You are to come up with crazy animals like the "Butterflant", or simply venture into the world of monstrosity, and explore the bizarre results of mixing your best friend with a cow.

- You are free to mix any amount of animals for your creature. You are also free to mix existing humans (provide references if you can) with animals, but have in mind we already have more than enough furries (antropomorphic drawings) on the net, so try to come up with something more bizarre and impacting.
- Try to stay away from the cliché pegasus, or mermaids, and the like.
- Bonus points if we can recognize the "parents" of your creature straight away.

The rules for this activity are:
-16 is the max. color amount you can use, so plan your palette wisely.
-Animation is optional, though you will be given extra love if you do!

So go on and start pushing those pixels!

ptoing · « **Reply #3 on:** November 07, 2006, 11:13:27 pm »

Yeh, the point of a challenge IS to make something new, not go, "Lol, here is something I made 2 years ago :3"

Sweet! If I can think of something, and make it nice, I will DEFINITELY join this.

awesome entries everyone, but hands down to helm. looks like it may be on "Doom 4: Attack of The Jungle Monkies"

Ryumaru · « **Reply #8 on:** November 08, 2006, 04:06:39 am »

@helm: holy shit thats awesome.

Helm · « **Reply #9 on:** November 08, 2006, 04:08:24 am »

I much prefer both the original entry by Panda and Godslayers, but thanks.

Everybody else: participate or BE BANNED

The rare beauty of the owl-headed horsowl has been witnessed by few.

haha I was considering posting that faceless, then I was considering posting I expected someone to say it and then I just trailed off...

back on topic, some very cool stuff going on here

Faceless · « **Reply #14 on:** November 08, 2006, 08:36:36 am »

Liar.

Anyway, I started one, and I just want to check to make sure everyone considers it to fits the parameters of the challenge before I go any further with it.

ejay · « **Reply #15 on:** November 08, 2006, 12:42:17 pm »

You guys are awesome, these are simply painfully good .

Here's my effort, a Hipposquirracoon . Or something.

robotriot · « **Reply #16 on:** November 08, 2006, 01:58:45 pm »

Great entries!

Well, mine was supposed to be a mix of a bear and a turtle, but somehow feathers came into the mix as well and it looks like none of those animals.

ep · « **Reply #17 on:** November 08, 2006, 08:44:24 pm »

So basically we are making our own joke animal, kinda like the platypus. I think I'm going to try a flying turtle squirrel, or some other similar mix.

Helm · « **Reply #18 on:** November 08, 2006, 08:50:45 pm »

Yeah, the platypus is god's entry into this challenge, and it's no wonder he kicks all of our asses.

Lackey · « **Reply #19 on:** November 08, 2006, 08:57:52 pm »

Ratheaded wolf, though it's no improvement over the the original.

i offically deem my ultimate human/giraffe/bird/scorpion to hard.

Nix · « **Reply #22 on:** November 08, 2006, 10:11:37 pm »

then get rid of the human side, erect the neck *giggles* and give the girraffe face a beak, then continue, cos urs looks really good on the outline . i was very impressed.

i will enter but i need to sketch my thingy first.

im doing turtleman.

Souly · « **Reply #23 on:** November 08, 2006, 10:47:42 pm »

It's a Squider.
Half squid, hald Spider.

crab2selout.png · « **Reply #24 on:** November 08, 2006, 10:58:03 pm »

The only part I don't get souly is how you ended up with less legs than both of your input animals

Willows · « **Reply #25 on:** November 08, 2006, 11:19:14 pm »

Mayhap he got hungry.

I'm brainstorming myself something as we speak. Hopefully it'll come to be. Don't really wanna get banned.

With this worm, YOU are the bait.

Larwick · « **Reply #29 on:** November 08, 2006, 11:58:37 pm »

Great things people, some really top stuff is coming up in these challenges recently.

mrmean, there seems to be a clash of styles in your piece, the shell being shaded in one way and the other areas in another. I quite like the way you've done the moose's head and the limbs, so i think following that up on the shell would look better.

No one else try doing a GECKARD, i've got that one coming.

istvan · « **Reply #30 on:** November 09, 2006, 12:13:55 am »

Theres a bit of bird, crab, turtle, pray mantas and human skeleton in this.

I think I might do a cleaner, different version that has more obvious influences. Its a fun activity.

That's kinda what I imagined those ostrich things from JOUST to look like...

Sherman Gill · « **Reply #33 on:** November 09, 2006, 01:53:49 am »

(Figure A.)The Beepo, native to northern Brazil.

That was great fun, I'll probably do another.
Err.. Once I fix a few minor problems I didn't notice till now.

The hipposquirracoon (I think) is very good, but the line between the tail and the rump kinda shatters, and it doesn't look very good.

Dogmeat · « **Reply #34 on:** November 09, 2006, 02:16:58 am »

Did a quick google search on Chimeras to see what would come up and stumbled across something very amusing...

And an article on the subject:

Not really polished but just did it in like 10 mins for waking up :0

This is what I would half expect if Helm and Ptoing had kids

Really nice entries everyone

It doesn't hurt to post things if you need some critique, but you really should finish and then post.

BTW, Schu, I really like yours. I should have mentioned that earlier. It's perfect as a Dragon Warrior monster or something.

The B.O.B.'s makes me never want to go sea diving.

Would look really cool if there was spots where a turtle skin texture breaks out..

Panda blanket is adorable. Nice use of empty space there too, it looks extra tiny.

just put the arms coming out the side of the shell instead of the front, then itll be perfect.
